~tl- the contact owns a 2020 accura Rdx. The contact stated while driving around 75 mph in the rain the contact had depressed on the accelrator pedal to past a semi truck the contact stated the vehilce began to lose power in the engine causing the vehilce to slow down . The check engine warning light did illuminated in the vehicle. The contact was able to move the vehicle from the far right lane to the left side of the road where the conact was able to pull the vehicle of the side of the road. The contact was able to continue to drive in a idle speed where the contact was able to get off the highway and pulled over to a gas station. The contact called a local dealer Acura of columbus (6549 whittlesey blvd, columbus, GA 31909 phone: (706) 576-6700 ) who diagnosed the failure over the phone turbo charges inter cooler system that allow moisture into the turbo charge when it rain which caused the engine to shut down. They advised the contact to slowly to drive around the the gas station once it stop raining for the vehicle. To drive correctly which the contact did which allow him to drive the vehicle. To their residence. The contact was able take vehicle to their local dealer Acura columbus (4340 w dublin granville rd, dublin, OH 43017) who replace the intercooler kit fix the failure on the vehicle and repaired the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,300. Vw.

I was driving on a freeway at 4:30am when I suddenly lost all power from the engine and it went into limp mode. The check engine light was flashing and fortunately there was no traffic so I was able to pull off the road. I shut off the car and sat for a few minutes and when I restarted the car everything was working fine. I had a 12 hour drive ahead of me and I never stopped thinking of how that could have ended up so badly. Later that day as I was driving through atlanta I shuddered to think what could have happened if this lack of propulsion had occurred. My guess, quite bluntly, is that I probably would have been killed. I have read online of this problem happening to a significant number of other people. Acura needs to be held accountable before someone is killed!.

After a stop at the va welcome center, I attempted to merge into traffic on I-81 north. The vehicle suddenly lost power and the check engine light came on. I was able to move to the shoulder and avoid being rear ended. The vehicle was towed to duncan Acura. They determined multiple cases of similar models had the same complaint. This is a known issue that has the potential for loss of life and should be remedited immediately. One online source said Acura has known of this problem since 2016.

Driving in the rain, accelerating onto a highway, our 2020 Acura Rdx lost power and would not accelerate. The check engine light was blinking, and we were forced to pull over. After restarting the car, the the check engine light was off and we were able to drive normally. The car was taken to the dealer on 10/24/20 but the issue could not be reproduced. We were informed that Acura is aware of the problem and may be working on a fix. The problem is also widely reported on the Acurazine internet forum. Researching the issue, it appears to only happen during rainy conditions and when accelerating.

I was accelerating to approximately 55mph to pass a vehicle. As soon as I completed the pass,the engine decelerated to 20 mph and the check engine light was flashing. Fortunately for us we were able to get the car safely off of the road. We then shut the engine off. Waited about 5 minutes restarted the engine and it ran fine the rest of the way home.

While driving at a consistent rate of speed on a 65 mph highway the vehicle suddenly and without warning lost engine power. The vehicle began to rapidly drop speed and the check engine light would blink when the accelerator was depressed. I was forced to abandon the highway and pull over onto the shoulder - not in an emergency lane - in between north and south bound traffic because the vehicle would not accelerate over 20 mph or exceed 2,000 rpms. After 3 hours of waiting in this dangerous location Acura roadside assistance was unable to locate a tow truck. I turned the vehicle off and back on and noticed the check engine light ceased blinking. I then proceeded to return home and the problem returned a second time, this time accompanied with numerous indicator lights (e. G. , awd problem, abs problem, etc). The vehicle was towed to pohanka Acura in chantilly, virginia. I was told the first time they cleared the codes they returned, but after a second time they did not. They were not able to replicate the problem, did not fix anything, and said it was caused by fuel choice. This is significant problem and safety risk known to Acura. There is a patent history of Acura choosing to not identify the root cause, associate this anomaly with fuel choice, and return the vehicle to the owner. In my opinion this is a negligent business practice and Acura should be responsible for any injuries or damages associated with these unexpected, unannounced "limp mode" events.

2020 Acura Rdx with approx 6,200 miles. Driving from pittsburgh, PA to new jersey. I reached new jersey after driving from pittsburgh. There was moderate to heavy rain showers during the drive. The rain ended prior to me entering new jersey. I exited the jersey turnpike for the on ramp to 195 east. I was going approximately 45 miles mph when I pressed the gas pedal to accelerate so I could safely enter traffic. I could feel the engine give way as I pressed the pedal. The car decelerated and the check engine light illuminated. I pulled off the highway to the side of the road and put on the flashers. I let the car run at idle. The check engine lite went off so I tried to accelerate the vehicle with no luck. The engine would rev a little but the car would only accelerate to approximately 25 mph. I tried this multiple times. I was near an exit and the vehicle was able to move at a slow speed so I drove approximately 2 miles to a friend's house. Again, the vehicle would not go over 25 miles an hour. After reaching my friend's house, I turned off the ignition. About 1 hour and 30 minutes later I turned on the vehicle. This seemed to fix the problem and I was able to continue home with no further issues. The check engine light remained off. Acura looked at the car but there was no record of the problem and they could not duplicate the issue. Not sure if it was an electrical issue or an engine issue.

After driving on secondary roads for an hour, I entered a highway. I was accelerating on the entrance ramp and noticed a car going very slow in the slow lane. I put on my blinker, accelerated more and moved to the middle lane of the highway. The car immediately went into �limp mode�, losing all power and the check engine was blinking. I could not pass the car that was going about 30 mph and had to apply my brakes in the middle of a highway as trucks were bearing down on me. This was terrifying! I was able to pull off to the side and shut down the engine. After 30 seconds I restarted the car and all power was returned with no check engine light. The dealer could find no problem, but Honda needs to fix this before someone gets killed.

From the day I took delivery of my 2020 Rdx advance in August, I've been completely crazy about it. Now, however, I'm feeling sad and disillusioned, but more importantly, I don't feel 100% safe driving it. Recently, after spending a few weeks in georgia, we were driving back home to northern virginia on I-85n in north carolina. It was and had been raining steadily the entire trip. There was moderate/heavy traffic moving at speeds between 60-75/80 mph. Somewhere just south of charlotte, the car suddenly started slowing down, even though I was pressing the accelerator! it was barely moving in the middle of traffic. The check engine light was blinking and the engine was rattling and sputtering. I immediately turned on the hazards and started crossing the two far right lanes to get over to the narrow shoulder. Terrifying. Fortunately, we were only about a 1/4 mile from an exit. We slowly made it on the shoulder to one of gas stations there. After checking the support section in the app and calling a tech at my home dealership, I shut the car off and let it sit for about 15 minutes. It started and we were able to finish the trip without further incident. We made it home safely, but the remaining six hours of the trip were mentally excruciating. We drove as slowly as safely possible in the right lane. I couldn't get it out of my head that it could happen again at any moment. And, I can't say it hasn't crossed my mind that I won't be able to get over that extended feeling of uncertainty while driving it. At least, not for now. I took it to the dealer on 11/25/19. They said they could not duplicate the issue, and that there were neither error nor fault codes stored. I had been hoping they would give me some explanation and reassurance that everything is fine. I wanted to feel 100% that the car is still safe to drive, but I'm not feeling that now.
